The Search

As time would heal

A man seems to appear

If words were fine

All else would dissipate

Unmeant for observation

A consensual reservation

The passions of all unknowns

Several moments of control

A sensual form of you

The edges that touch her lips

A distance once too familiar

Wandering visions of all that could be

The stolen kiss of time

A smoke like emotion sat alone

The crushing of red 

Delivered to be

Torment of the hours 

Cutting through a stream

Dreams fleeing a deeper sea

A sung tune once to your name

Filling in the blues of absolution

An obscene flow left listless

A sultry skate of thoughts

Dear to the mind 

Pink to lilac it floats

Rendering the color of your eyes

Teals of the deepest green

Much has grown too entwined

A daydream travels the restless nights

As reality mirrors you to be

Taken consent through a distant stare

Speaking words you would never hear

Waves of you touching all edges

Merciful in the longing beat 

Beheld within her

He engraves his initials

Belongings to Longings

Unveilings of this heart

As long as she were 

You always would be

An entire kaleidoscope of colours and emotions. Your poem reminded me of the novel 'The strawberry girl' by Lisa Stromme, where each chapter began with a quote from Goethe's book 'Theory of colors'. Each colour was connected to a certain emotions evoked in each chapter, just like here with each strophe. Beautifully done!

Reading this I am inclined to think that you have at least a basic grasp of color theory. The way in flows and subtle reference to color and beauty reminds of some writings in the impressionistic style. Which I really appreciate.

You use of color and sound and almost like "speak in to existence" and interrupting voicing reminds a lot of Tolkien's Silmarilion creation mythos.

Waw
thank you so much

This one has a dreamlike quality to it, like a continuous inflow of impressions registering in sequence. The encompassing theme is that of a perfect love, in all the ways it might reveal itself. Reading and re-reading the verses can produce an almost hypnotic effect. All that is needed is a certain type of music.

Oh waw
Thank you thank you

I love the way colours are woven through the fabric of this lovely poem. I wonder whether you selected your posted image before your words were written? The couplets are a delight to read and there is much feeling that comes through to this reader. The search for the right mate certainly provides many pathways. Good work here.

I don't usually pay much attention to artwork WHILE I'm reading, but I couldn't help but notice that your poem was describing your artwork beautifully & in great imaginative detail! It reminds me of how we can go thru life with an idea or a feeling, not quite defined, sometimes a jumble, but at some point in life, we know it when we see it manifest. Your last 3 couplets make for a strong ending of interesting word play (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thank you dear

"The Search" is indeed all that ..as best I remember anyway ;) strong title for your poem and that pic is absolutely stunning to me ... so interesting as the male is the all encompassing Nature .. instead of "Mother" :) your couplets touch so many of the aspects of our search for one another ... each one kind of a treasure standing alone .. all together quite the journey ... but these:
" Waves of you touching all edges
Merciful in the longing beat

Beheld within her
He engraves his initials

Belongings to Longings
Unveilings of this heart" ....for me are especially good ..

Thank you E

you've so beautifully woven together the love she feels for him. she actually feels torment apart from him.
truly beautiful and deeply touching. i got lost in it while i read as if going to another dimension. cool pic and title adds ... :)

[B]

Thank you
She does indeed

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i like the mix here...we get her feelings and longings for him...and we also get his perspective of how important to him she is..
especially evident in the last two lines...

and they are so beautiful.
